About Northern Tanagers
Piranga is a genus of birds long placed in the tanager family, but now considered members of the cardinal family, Cardinalidae. The genus name Piranga is from Tupi Tijepiranga, the name for an unknown small bird. Similar in shape and habits to the true tanagers, their coloration betrays their actual relationships.
